We at HiTech Creations, makers of Aces High combat flight simulator, have access to the same statistics and gaming information that you have, so we thought we would share some interesting gaming statistics which came out recently.
Video game demographics statistics show that Gen Alpha and Gen Z is the generation with the largest percentage of console and mobile players, followed by Millennials. Meanwhile, Millenials, who spend $112 billion per year on gaming, prefer PC gaming. As for popular console brands, more American consumers planned to buy a PlayStation 5 than an Xbox Series X or S during the 2020 holidays.

What does it all mean?
Well, other than the fact that gaming is obviously a very popular way to pass the time, we are not sure what it all means. And really, does it need to mean more? Is it necessary to always have in-depth discussions about things like this? We all have twenty-four hours in each day, 365 days in each year, and we all spend those hours and days doing what we enjoy doing (with the possible exception of our jobs, of course). We can take more surveys and develop more postulates about it all, but really, we at HiTech Creations would prefer to just kick back and play our exciting flight sim game, Aces High.
